About Platelet Rich Plasma Injection

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive regenerative therapy offered by pediatric orthopedics to harness the body's natural healing abilities. In this procedure, a small sample of the child's blood is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and then precisely injected into the injured or damaged musculoskeletal tissue, such as tendons, ligaments, or joints. This concentrated plasma stimulates and accelerates the repair of soft tissues and cartilage, reduces inflammation, and alleviates pain. It is a promising alternative for young patients with sports injuries, growth plate issues, or chronic conditions where traditional treatments have been insufficient, promoting healing with minimal downtime and using the patient's own biological material to avoid rejection risks.

Key Highlights

Utilizes the patient's own blood, minimizing risk of allergic reactions or rejection.Minimally invasive procedure with no major incisions or general anesthesia typically required.Stimulates the body's natural healing and tissue regeneration processes.Can reduce pain and inflammation, potentially delaying or avoiding the need for surgery.Short procedure time, often performed in an outpatient clinic setting.Promotes healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints with growth factors./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Chronic tendon injuries (tendinopathies) such as jumper's knee (patellar tendinitis) or Achilles tendinitis.
Ligament sprains and tears, including in the knee (e.g., MCL, LCL) or ankle.
Mild to moderate osteoarthritis in adolescent joints.
Muscle strains or tears that are slow to heal.
Certain growth plate injuries (osteochondritis dissecans).
Non-healing fractures or to support bone graft procedures.

How to prepare

Consultation with a pediatric orthopedic specialist to confirm candidacy for PRP.
Disclosure of all medications, especially blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen), which may need to be paused.
Maintaining good hydration in the days leading up to the procedure.
Fasting is usually not required as it is a minor procedure, but follow specific doctor's instructions.
Arranging for transportation home after the injection, as the affected area may be sore.
Wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the injection site.

Risks & possible complications

Pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which is usually temporary.
Risk of infection at the blood draw or injection site (very low).
Minor nerve irritation or injury from the needle.
No improvement in symptoms or failure of the treatment.
Very rare risk of tissue damage if not performed correctly.
Potential for increased pain for a few days post-injection as part of the inflammatory healing response.

Recovery & hospital stay

Rest the injected area for 24-48 hours; avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting.
Ice packs can be applied to manage initial soreness and swelling.
Over-the-counter pain relievers (like acetaminophen) may be recommended; avoid NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen) initially as they may interfere with the healing process.
A structured physical therapy program is often prescribed after a brief rest period to restore strength and mobility.
Gradual return to sports or activities as guided by the orthopedic specialist, typically over several weeks.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress, as the full benefits may develop over 4-6 weeks.

Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient procedure)
Expected recovery time: Initial soreness: 3-7 days; Full therapeutic effect: 4-6 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow...

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow in a playground fall, and Dr. Prashanth Inna was absolutely phenomenal. He explained the complex procedure in simple terms, calmed our nerves, and the minimally invasive surgery went perfectly. His follow-up care was thorough, and she's now back to gymnastics without any issues!
